SWTOR Beta Key Giveaway

Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out next month and the beta has been in gear for quite some time. Many of the Wowhead staff members, myself included, have spent their share of time with the force lately and loved it. Unfortunately, the beta has been hard to get into for many fans beyond a weekend stress test. This week, however, we've got a chance for you to get in easily!

Our parent site, ZAM, is giving away 25,000 beta keys for SWTOR on a first come, first serve basis. Yes, 25,000 keys. We'd love for you to support them by entering their giveaway and trying out SWTOR. All you have to do is sign-up for a ZAM account and you get a free key instantly sent to you--while supplies last, of course.

Please note that this is a key for their next testing phase, which will start shortly--BioWare will be emailing you an invite based on the email you redeem the code with.

Signing up for it now. :D It has been freaking hard to get into the beta... they did have that e-mail thing where they e-mailed everyone and their dog, but that was a mistake. >.<

It's been a pain dealing with the SW:TOR site these days. I am not sure. Sometimes they send out Betas for the future and don't let you DL the program until later. This has absolutely no description on it though. ><

I believe you can download the client from http://www.swtor.com/tester -- that's where I downloaded mine. But I was a way earlier invite for a different phase, so I'm not 100% sure it works for everyone. Let me know!

I think it is a SCAM tbo cuz when i redeemed my code it told me it was for event 1? Also there is no where to DL client .... gg they just want attention & ppl to sign up for their site.

Well, this is inconvenient...

Ah heck, signed up anyway.

Same boat here. Doesn't look like this is a legit code anymore.

This is in no way a scam... we worked with BioWare directly to get these keys; I'll check in with ZAM and see why they aren't activating immediately.

It seems like BioWare sent you guys keys for a stress test, meaning we won't get to play till around Thanksgiving.

Yea I already did the stress test if you have an account on swtor.com you get one when they have them...I was hoping this was a full key for the closed beta.

all in all, we can't complain over free beta keys, right? you just gotta add something like:* free beta key won't guarantee you will be downloading and playing the beta anytime this week*

When does this beta event start? I tried to log in since I had already downloaded the client for the weekend stress test but it said that no current subscriptions were found :(

I think they're doing a final stress test for their live servers, which means a #$%^ ton of players A.K.A. massive invite promotions
